Default how to convert msg files

Hi, Firstly I hope this is the right forum for my question.


Sure.

The problem is I downloaded E-mails and my address book at work onto a
CD but now when I try to open them on my new home PC I see they are
all msg files.


You certainly didn't use the correct method to transfer your Outlook data.
The correct way is, if using an Exchange server for your mailbox, to create
a PST (FIleNewOutlook Data File)and copy your folders to it. Then take
that PST home with you. If you're already using a PST, then take it home
with you. Start the home Outlook and click FIleOpenOutlook Data File to
open it.

Naturally, this presupposes you have Outlook at home because there's no way
to read Outlook data with any program but Outlook.
